The city uses the county animal shelter (OC Animal Care), and the taxpayers pay dearly for
the privilege.
The shelter has a Strategic Plan that taxpayers cost the taxpayers $400,000. Is it using
it? No, it’s thrown it out of the window:

strategic-plan/
Instead, it wants YOU, the taxpayer to pay a few hundred thousand dollars for a new
one. It’s already put this out to bid. Any day now they’ll approve a wasteful contract, and
you’ll be on the hook.
The city council shouldn’t let this happen. They should tell the shelter that the city
ALREADY PAID for a Strategic Plan, and the shelter should just use it.
This is all just an excuse to cover up the misdeeds of incompetent county managers:

image-and-no-substance/
Better yet, we should get a non-profit humane society to run the shelter. That’s what this
OC Register column says, and I agree with it:

And that’s not the half of it. Here’s a complete rundown of the shelter’s problems:
